Why this home stands out
Built in 2022, this home skips the quirks and deferred maintenance that come with older construction. You get current building codes, modern mechanical systems, and contemporary finishes without the renovation guesswork. At 2,780 square feet across four bedrooms and two and a half baths, there's genuine room to spread out — and the southern Chesapeake location keeps daily logistics manageable without sacrificing neighborhood calm.
CULPEPPER LANDING and the Chesapeake real estate market
776 Big Bear Lane sits in the 23323 zip code of southern Chesapeake, one of the more quietly residential pockets of a city that consistently ranks among Virginia's most livable. Chesapeake is the second-largest city by land area in the United States, and that scale works in your favor here — you get suburban breathing room without feeling isolated from the amenities of a major metro. The surrounding area is a mix of newer subdivisions and established neighborhoods, giving the corridor a settled, community-oriented feel. Grocery stores, pharmacies, big-box retailers, and a solid spread of restaurants are all within a short drive along the Route 17 and Battlefield Boulevard corridors. Outdoor recreation is a genuine draw in this part of the city, with Northwest River Park and the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge both accessible for weekend hiking, kayaking, and wildlife watching. Interstate 64 and Route 168 connect you northward toward Norfolk and Virginia Beach or southward into the Outer Banks of North Carolina with equal ease.
What's nearby
Daily errands are straightforward from Big Bear Lane. The Battlefield Boulevard corridor puts grocery options, pharmacies, and casual dining within a few miles. For a sit-down meal or a weekend outing, the shops and restaurants along Greenbrier Parkway are roughly 15 to 20 minutes north. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate that Northwest River Park — with its trails, campgrounds, and canoe launches — is a short drive south. The Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge offers another layer of nature access for hikers and birdwatchers. Quick highway access via Route 168 and I-64 keeps the broader Hampton Roads region well within reach.

Four bedrooms and 2,780 square feet give a growing family genuine flexibility — a dedicated home office, a guest room, or a playroom are all on the table without anyone feeling squeezed.
